From the information from Crossbow, I started looking. I found the 'Software Starter Kit', FX1S-14MR-ES/UL-K for $490.00. This came with software, cable and a simple plc that I didn't really need but it was basicly free. You can only purchase this kit once. I purchased GT-WORKS2-C1 for the HMI. I found the plc and software to be great. I think the HMI software was a little off but the most important thing I didn't like is the HMI is supported with Windows CE. Sorry, but any machine that is controlled with a program that runs under Windows - sucks. Windows is still not up to what it should be when it comes to controlling a machine. So you may not agree --- My question is - How often does your computer crash because of Windows?

Stuck interfacing to a Mitsubishi FX1N plc and F930GOT-BWD-E 4" HMI Not up to times with Mitsubishi sinse old "punkin" terminal. Have learned I can purchase GX-DEV-FX-C1 software ($487.50) for the plc using a SC-09 cable ($146.25). Any better information? Have learned the HMI software comes with the HMI. Of course, I don't have this. Is what I need the 'DU/WIN' (FX-PCS-DU/WIN-E) to interface to the HMI? Can I get this is for free? Where? What cable do I need? Did this cable come with the HMI? What is the pin-out? I sure need help with this - been looking Thanks - ahead of time!!! "never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done"

Not sure what your are looking for --- Is this it? have your program up on the screen Select softkey "View" Select type "Ladder View" or "Mnemonic View" Switch back and forth any time to program Good Luck! "never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done"
